EPISODE 8, SEASON 1 FINALE: THE NUTCRACKER
The Season 1 finale is also our first holiday episode! Ian discusses the Russian Romantic composer, Ptoyr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and his ballet, The Nutcracker.
EDIT: The New York City Ballet production of The Nutcracker — with choreography by the legendary George Balanchine — premiered in the 1950s. In this podcast episode, the host misspoke in stating that the production premiered in the 1960s.
